Pardo Hits Ace from Space to Survive Bubble
Niveau 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
The action folded to Mikalai Vaskaboinikau in the small blind, who made a raise to 90,000. Juan Pardo was his opponent in the big blind and he jammed all in for 605,000. Vaskaboinikau rechecked his cards quickly before making an even quicker call to put Pardo at risk.
Juan Pardo: A?3?
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: K?K?
It was looking like the min-cash was about to be secured for the six other players, but Pardo immediately flopped an ace on 8?A?2?. No kings showed their faces on the 9? turn or 2? river and Pardo survived the bubble with his double-up. Meanwhile, Vaskaboinikau was left with 12 big blinds and remained the shortest stack on the table.
